Hieux Boil Seafood House

Hieux Boil Seafood House was one of my favorite stops in New Orleans. It was recommended by a server from a different restaurant we visited. We came on Monday night. Katie, the server, was the only server working that night. Even though she was so busy, she still accommodated the customers and ensured every table had everything they needed. She chatted with us briefly, and we bonded that we were both from the Bay Area. I ordered the Cajun Alfredo, and most of the people in my group got the Shrimp boil. I loved the Cajun Alfredo. The pasta was overcooked, but the sauce had great flavor and a little kick. The crabcake was also delicious. Everything tasted fresh. My group also ordered a shrimp boil. Katie recommended that we get the low heat instead of medium; she said the Louisiana spice level might be different from the Bay Area's. My sister was so happy she ordered low heat instead of medium because she thought the low heat was very spicy. My group enjoyed the shrimp boil; they all thought it was flavorful.The restaurant was small, so it could get crowded, especially when busy. The parking lot was also small, but there was street parking available. Overall, Hieux Boil Seafood House's food and service were terrific.

Once again my food was great. Let's start with the highs. I had the Cajun classic boil, char grilled half Dungeness crab cluster and char, grilled oysters. All of my items were phenomenal. Our server created us delicious margaritas and made blue Bayou virgin drinks for our girls. Now, for the lows. All the fried food my friend had was extremely mid. The fish was supposed to be catfish but it didn't taste as if it were. Lol call us spoiled Californians I guess, the garlic butter noodles, swam in oil and we're not flavorful at all.I appreciate the prior to ordering and prior to entering the establishment and very clear print that it says no refunds or returns of drinks. So at least you know what you're getting yourself into.

Hieux Boil Seafood House was our last stop before leaving NOLA, and it proved to be a great choice. This casual seafood boil spot became of the our favorite restaurants out of the ones we tried while in town. To our luck, we walked in right before the place filled up.Our server not only gave us a rundown of the menu but also gave us a rundown of New Orleans. She recommended activities and restaurants that locals enjoy and told us to steer clear of the tourist traps. We ended up ordering the House Bucket Combo, which included shrimp, crawfish, snow crab legs, sausage, corn, and potatoes in the Caribbean flavor. We also had a dozen raw oysters, which were plump and succulent.The seafood combo was delicious and just the right amount for the two of us. While the food was great, I have to admit it didn't quite beat the Viet Cajun we've had in Houston, but it came pretty close. Overall, the food was tasty, the service was excellent, and I'm really glad we made this stop before heading out!

I am a tourist from CA and am very picky when it comes to seafood boil. This place was recommended by locals for the yummy food and great drinks and I mean come on who can leave Louisiana without trying a seafood boil. I really enjoyed the dish we got, the shack with the house sauce which is all of them together. It was a little sweet with great flavor. I got low heat which isn't spicy at all. I recommend getting medium, it's like hot Cheeto spicy. The meat was slightly over cooked but not bad. I really appreciate the service provided by Josh (J.D) he made an effort to check on us in a timely fashion and was always so sweet. They were super booked and he was still on it. Thanks JD!

Absolutely great seafood boil joint. Had spicy crawfish and shrimp, came with a big group of hungry folks and everyone loved the food. Very nice staff and owner was friendly toward us.

Can you go wrong with food in New Orleans? Perhaps. I've never had a bad food experience in the city. Lucky me! My favorite uncle picked me up during a break from my conference. I said I wanted a Poboy and we ended up at Hieux. I ordered the shrimp Poboy and cajun fries. The food was cooked to order and fresh. The restaurant wasn't busy at all and we were able to order quickly and be seated. We sat on the outside patio area because the weather was so nice! I'd recommend this seafood house and I'd return. Friendly and helpful staff as well. Check them out.

Our waitress was so friendly and informative, I wish I could remember her name. The food was really delicious, huge portions and cooked to perfection! I had the classic boil, chose low heat ( waitress recommendation) and glad I did. I like hot, but low heat was plenty hot. I also upgraded to headless shrimp for $4 more and it was worth it, more shrimp! My boyfriend had his with the crab claws, medium and it was pretty hot! Also delicious. It was quiet and not too much atmosphere,but for price, food quality and service, I would highly recommend!

We shared the Taste of New Orleans and it was great! It came with crawfish, blue crabs, shrimp, corn and potatoes. I have eating restrictions and I dont't sausage, but they were wiling to make the boil without it which I really appreciated since some places do not so this is a great place to go if you want to be able to try a nola seafood boil without sausage! They also substituted in extra corn instead of sausage and I really appreciated the gesture. We went with the BOIL house sauce which is a combination of all of the sauces and Hieux Boil Seafood House's special house and it was absolutely delicious and the sauce can make such a big difference when it comes to seafood boils. I loved the food here and I appreciated the team's efforts! They also provide gloves, a bin, and bibs to keep everything clean and neat while your eating which I really appreciated.

The food was amazing and the service was so incredible. Our waiter was so nice and friendly. Would highly recommend this place!

The food was great. The server Josh was excellent! Helped us make the right decisions on our order.
